    Am I the last to know?

    This is seriously a very bad company. It invented round up then invented a soy bean to withstand the effects of round up. Round up is sprayed onto the soybean crops to control weeds. Do you want to feed your family anything that has been "treated" with round up while it was growing in the...

    Lacto fermenting pickles?

    Your set up looks good! I rubber band kitchen towels over the openings of my fermenting containers. I have not one, but two shedding St. Bernards who also sling drool and what nots about the kitchen when they walk through shaking their heads. If I have not died yet from contamination, you...

    Lacto fermenting pickles?

    O.k. good! I just peeled my beets (pink fingers!!) and sliced them and they are currently dunked into a nice (non iodized) salt water brine. No other spices for them, I figured they have enough taste to stand on their own. Pickles' brine will get cloudy after the second day or so...don't...

    Lacto fermenting pickles?

    BTW, DON'T WATER BATH CAN IT, IT WILL LAST UP TO 3 MONTHS IN THE FRIDGE. YOU CAN TRANSFER IT TO ANOTHER CONTAINER, AS LONG AS IT IS GLASS OR PLASTIC. WATER BATH CANNING KILLS THE HEALTHY BACTERIA. OK DONE PREACHING ABOUT SAUERKRAUT...I FORGOT I STARTED A GOOD THREAD HERE SOMEWHERE ON TEG...

    Lacto fermenting pickles?

    ONE IMPORTANT THING I FORGOT TO MENTION, USE NON IODIZED SALT!! (I USED SEA SALT TOO, OTHERS HAVE USED THAT SPECIAL SALT WITH MINERALS IN IT, JUST NOT IODIZED.) SORRY, I HOPE YOU READ THIS IN TIME!! :/ REGULAR NON IODIZED SALT IS FINE.

    Lacto fermenting pickles?

    No...nice and whole for me. Some folks slice their cukes, but I didn't. They are crispy and delicious! Best when chilled.

    Best Way to Enjoy Homegrown Celery?

    See, pretty cool hua? Lots of Louisanna folks infiltrated TX through out the ages. I have quite a few Cajun recipes under my belt. (I love to make seafood gumbo! :drool) I didn't know other cultures had a trinity of their own, thanks for sharing! Hattie, that is a wonderful idea about...

    Best Way to Enjoy Homegrown Celery?

    I always use the leaves in my soups. I make "trinity" with celery (stalks and leaves), onions, carrots for almost all of my soups.

    Sage....

    What do you fry them in? I've used EX.V.O.O. and it was too strong of a flavor, it overpowered the sage. I love to tuck wads of fresh sage under the skin of a chicken with butter chunks and then rub that baby with more butter then roast it up. I will also tuck more sage into the cavity of the...
